[Help] /tmp filling all the time

Post by Fusor »

Good day,
I have the problem with /tmp folder filling up all the time. Any suggestions how can I find out, what is constantly filling it, so I can prevent it from doing that? I'm running the latest TOS6 version.
Thanks in advance!

Hello! Thank you for contacting TerraMaster. You can log in to the device terminal and execute the command du -sh ./* to check the space usage of all files and directories in the current path, and quickly locate large files/folders.

Apparentlky, the Prolwarr app in the tmnascommunity.eu is an older version and tries to update and makes back-ups and temporary files all the time, switched to Docker and for now all is fine. Thanks you.

I ran into a similar problem before.
In my case, setting up a cron job to clean old temp files also helped reduce the /tmp growth.
Maybe useful for anyone who doesn’t want to switch to Docker immediately.
